A further question from me is, due to the increased awareness of airport security I recently packed all my kilt pins in my suitcase even the one from the kilt I was wearing. This was fine on the outward flight, and I did the same on the way home, when I unpacked all my kilt pins had gone. Are they confiscating them or have they just been knicked?

Rhino,

The kilt pins would almost certainly have been confiscated if you were wearing one or if you had them in your cabin bag. However, if they were in the luggage that travels in 'the hold' (or whatever they call that area in aircraft!), there would be no reason for them to have been removed officially.

Last summer I flew to and from the USA, and on internal flights within the States, and always packed my kilt pins, Sgian Dubh, etc. in my large bags that did not enter the aircraft cabin.

My bags and cases were locked. Did you lock yours and had the locks been tampered with?
